If you think that people don’t have money and are not buying, then you need to hear this. 2.5 million people registered for around 200,000 Glastonbury Festival 2024 tickets at £360 each. And the tickets sold out in around 30 mins. This highlights a few interesting things: 1) that there are people who do have money to spend. 2) that creating a waiting list prior to selling can be a good business strategy. 3) that the organisers could have charged a higher price for the tickets given the demand, but didn’t as they don’t want the festival to become elitist. I’m one of the people that tried to get a ticket for the full festival and failed. Though I did manage to get a locals Sunday only ticket. With hindsight, one day will probably be enough for me, lol. The festival starts today. Who else is going? #glastonburyfestival #pricingstrategy #financialcoach #moneymentor #madaboutmoney #retirerich

Live events, concerts, sports, or just about any other entertainment event are all booming. Accessing them has become easier than ever before, thanks to online purchases. This easy access, however, comes at the cost of frequent chargebacks. The event industry is a common target for chargebacks because of its nature. The popularity and profits from tickets make them an easy target for fraudsters. The surcharge from the resale of tickets to trending events is tempting and probably easy to chargeback. But they can all be either prevented or managed efficiently if you have access to the right tools and strategies. This article gives it all to you. Discover the root cause of chargebacks, strategies to manage them, tips, and best practices you can follow to prevent them from happening. https://lnkd.in/gQSwqzGg #chargebacks #ecommercesolutions #d2csolutions

As an entertainer, or event/festival organizer, launching your event into the world often feels like an uphill battle. A series of ongoing challenges and never-ending obstacles. If you stop pushing the rock uphill, it comes rolling back downhill. It’s possible though to view the work that comes with the launching of your event as an inevitable gravitational pull the opposite way. Like an avalanche, or rock slide gaining momentum — your journey starts at the top of the mountain. Not the bottom. #digitalmarketing #eventprofs #entertainer #musicfestival #concerts #creativeprocess

Annoying for visitors, artists and theatres. We created these six new functionalities together with Peppered user De Kleine Komedie and one of these options, the Dynamic Barcodes, were developed together with the ticketing provider Ovatic (LVP Reserveringssystemen). 🔗 Discover how to ensure a secured ticket sale at peppered.com/secure

While updating all those spreadsheets, checking and double-checking the details until your brain hurts, do you ever think there must be a better way to plan events and festivals? Do you ever wonder if other planners are doing the same thing or have a better way: Do they know something you don't? What you are feeling is FOBO - fear of better operations. Suffering from FOBO? https://lnkd.in/gWtByZ7r #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #eventplanning #joievents #eventproduction #independenteventplanners #festivalplanners #festivaldirectors

We know it's early to be thinking about Christmas, but if you're planning to hold a festive event this year - such as a community celebration or a Christmas fayre/market - you may need a Public Entertainment Licence (PEL) or a Market Operator’s Licence. Whether you're an individual, business, local group or community council, it's important you find out about the licensing requirements before planning any event. Applications for PELs should be made 12 weeks before the proposed event. For more info, including whether the event may be exempt from needing a licence, visit https://orlo.uk/Spuu4 Applications for Market Operators’ Licences should be made at least eight weeks before the proposed event. For more info, visit https://orlo.uk/FkD7T If you have any queries, please email civic.licensing@eastdunbarton.gov.uk and a member of the team will be in touch. * Please note, the Council does not organise Christmas lights switch-on events, but provides support for local groups, traders and events where possible.
